Product Description:

Handspun yarn, hand painted wool, Wensleydale yarn, pink, blue, pastel Sweetpea I hand spun this from traditional longwool Wensleydale fleece from Yorkshire UK. I then hand painted the skein in delicate, pastel florals - pale blue, delicate pink, soft rose, light green, silvery lilac and aqua. This yarn was spun from tops, so it is smooth and fairly uniform. It is self-plied. It has kept its lustre and has a slight halo. It is soft - bearing in mind that long stapled breeds are never quite as soft as merino. 1 chunky skein: 124 yards and 101 grams - so this one is a little heavier than DK gauge - see picture with 1 inch marker for better idea. http://www.etsy.com/shop/SpinningStreak http://www.etsy.com/shop/SpinningStreak?section_id=5307046
